flask sources? - Orchid Board

Lady Tottington · #1 02-04-2011, 11:06 PM

Hi all! Where do you all get your orchid flasks? I think I'd like to start with some phals, dends, or catts, but I'm not really sure where to look for sources? I have seen some at bigleaf.com but those are way pricey. I'd prefer to find babies that will grow to be fragrant, might as well

Phal species flasks? Phal species hybrids? Anything really. I just don't know where to look, and when I looked on ebay I only found Thailand, and figured that wouldn't work for me, being stateside and all

Eventually if I think I'd like to branch out to sowing my own, but for now, I'd take some flasks someone else got started

thanks friends!

Have you tried Troy Meyers Conservatory? https://lab.troymeyers.com/flasking/home.php

oooh! Thank you Becca! That looks just like what I was after!!! I think I had heard of them before now that you linked to them, but for some reason I didn't quite understand how it worked. Now that I have read it, I don't know why I was confused before. I must have been having a bad day whenever that was. doh.

Thank you sweetie! PERFECT! AND affordable!!!

I guess we all think alike, I was going to suggest Troy Meyers too!

A few years ago a lot of us on OB got together to make a donation to them. They've been having money problems for the past few years, and if they were to close it would be a huge lose. It was really great how OB members came together to help out, even if it wasn't a huge sum of money.

If you do order, consider donating a few $ while you're at it, it's for a good cause!!

I definitely will! How much did the OB give? Perhaps we need to do it again? I'd be in!

I think it was just a 'donate what you can'. Some gave $1, some $10, some gave more.
